Vuelta also in danger
Fractured vertebrae! Roglic diagnosed after Tour crash
Cycling star Primoz Roglic suffered a vertebral fracture in his lower back in his crash at the Tour de France almost two weeks ago.
The diagnosis of a non-displaced fracture of a transverse process in the lumbar vertebrae area was announced by the 34-year-old Slovenian on Instagram on Wednesday night. After further examinations, he recovered last week at the Red Bull Athlete Performance Center in Thalgau, Roglic explained.
The 2023 Giro winner withdrew from the Tour after the twelfth stage due to the consequences of the crash. In principle, his Red Bull-Bora team was also considering a start at the Vuelta, which begins on August 17 in Lisbon. However, it remains to be seen whether the three-time winner will be able to compete in the Tour of Spain. "I'm slowly getting back on my bike and taking my time with my recovery - then we'll see where that takes us," Roglic wrote on the social network.
